Virtualization State of the Union by Alessandro Perilli

I just finished watching a presentation by Alessandro Perilli at SYS-CON’s Virtualization Conference and Expo 2007 East.  It’s packed with useful info like the 9 challenges of virtualization and virtualization emerging trends.  I was especially interested hearing what Alessandro had to say about emerging trends which is at the end of the presentation.  According to Alessandro, over the next 3 years there will be an increase in application virtualization as well as an increase in vendors who provide SaaS and infrastructure leasing solutions.  As you can imagine, these trends made my ears perk up.

While Alessandro broke the emerging trends down into different features, Simply Continuous has bundled them all into one solution specifically designed to address IT disaster recovery needs. The solution is called AppAlive. It’s nice to know that we’re part of the emerging trend although I’m not sure “infrastructure leasing solutions” makes great marketing speak. There are a lot of businesses out there that would like to open a 2nd datacenter and utilize virtualization technology but don’t have the expertise or resources to maintain it. That’s why AppAlive and our other services make so much sense to companies who would like the benefits of a 2nd datacenter with virtualization but don’t want to significantly increase their IT costs.

To learn more about virtualization trends watch Alessandro’s State of the Union presentation.  I give it two thumbs up.

To learn how Simply Continuous can remotely protect and recovery your business applications, visit our AppAlive services page.  I give AppAlive two thumbs up but I’m clearly biased.
